Snow Leopard Update 10.6.2 fails!

[Macslap]

Snow Leopard seems to have put nice little brake on this hobby. Seems much more difficult to get this thing working than with Leopard.

 

Anyways...I did manage to install it. I bought the retail disk and tried using a couplke of the boot disks designed for booting the retail version...it gets about to 27% and then crashes,..tells me to restart my machine (got my bios updated btw).

 

So then I tried install from within Leopard. Clicked on the install icon provided by the retail DVD...same thing. Get's about 27% or so then crashes.

 

The only way I have been able to install Snow Leopard (from within Leopard) is to un-hide the hidden folders on the CD..then go to System/Installation/Packages/ and then click on "OSInstall.mpkg"

 

The install then goes great. I've even had it setup to boot into either 64bit or32bit. Networking and sound work fine. Even the ATI 2400 HD PCIe shows up with the right amount of RAM (no CI and QE however).

 

So then I wanted to update it to 10.6.2. I downloaded the update dmg file from Apple and gave it a shot. Weeeell...taint gonna happen. It will not install. Gives me the message of:

 

"This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

 

I've double checked the extensions (system and extras folder) to make sure the right ones were there. I've fixed the permissions using Kext Utility.app...still no go. I even reinstalled SL with no changes still I get the same message...

 

What the smell is going on?

I got the same message with my Asus P5GC.

The thing is 10.6.0 works spectacular but can´t install the updates 10.6.1 or 10.6.2

Anyone has any ideas

Same problem here, but upgrading from 10.6 to 10.6.3 damn works. Hope this works to you too, and neglect those .1 and .2 updates =).
